Professor of Classical Philology, Università degli studi di Siena, Italy ”Per me l'uomo colto è colui che sa dove andare a cercare l'informazione nell'unico momento della sua vita in cui gli serve” –Umberto Eco How were ancient Greek and Latin texts disseminated throughout history? Why should we care? And what can these texts tell us about the formulation of our modern societies, and how we should respond to current political events? These are some of the questions that preoccupy Classical Philologist Simone Beta, a lecturer at the University of Sienna, Italy, who’s recent autobiographical retelling of the life of the Palatine Anthology, gives an insight into the histories of the Western world. In the book’s retelling, Simone shows us how the ancient text has travelled across Europe, and the ways in which it still influences modern literature and societies to this day. In this video, Simone tells us how, in the 15th and 16th centuries, people all over Europ...

Senior Lecturer, School of Life Sciences Associate Member, ithree - Institute of Infection, Immunity and Innovation University of Technology, Sidney "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's Not" - Dr Seuss from The Lorax So, you think you know about Chlamydia? There is a lot of stigma surrounding Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), and the secrecy around the subject often prevents people from getting tested and seeking help. But how much do we actually know about Chlamydia? And how can better education, more research, and a more equal society help us to tackle the infection? Willa Hutson, a Senior Lecturer and Research Group Leader at the University of Technology in Sydney, spoke to Traces.Dreams about her research on Chlamydia and its link to female infertility. As a researcher, Willa is preoccupied with discovering why some women become infertile while others don’t, as well as engaging wit...

The Pennsylvania State University. Director at the Sustainability Institute. Professor in Management and Organization, Smeal College of Business ”If wealth is lost nothing is lost, If health is lost something is lost, If character is lost everything is lost” – Anonymous How do we create a more sustainable world?

Pioneer of the Brand Citizenship Movement, Global Brand Strategist ”What is the essence of life? To serve others and to do good.” – Aristotle What is Behavioural Economics? Why does it matter? And how can companies acting as good corporate citizens create both success and sustainability in their business? These are some of the questions that Anne Bahr Thompson, the founder of the movement of Brand Citizenship, and author of the book Do Good, is seeking to answer with her work. Anne is passionate about showing companies that doing good is no longer a barrier to financial success. Her research on brand citizenship and cultural trends reveals that the notion of separating how your business behaves, from how you earn money, is one that is falling out of favour. She now believes that doing good, behaving sustainably, and combining ethical considerations with economic pursuits, can actually help businesses to increase their financial success. Traces.Dreams is a place on...
